Japan's manga artists can't ignore AI any more

His eldest son Macoto Tezka believes that he would have embraced it.

Find out what's new on ST website and app. BERLIN - The German armed forces are preparing to develop long-range combat drones capable of striking targets deep in enemy territory, the Handelsblatt newspaper reported on Monday. Three consortia are working on concrete concepts after the Luftwaffe airforce sent a request for deep-strike drones to leading defence companies and startups, the report said. According to the report, Airbus Defence is contributing to the project alongside U.S. startup Kratos, while Germany's Rheinmetall has teamed up with drone specialist Anduril. Munich-based startup Helsing is also involved, the report said. The German defence ministry confirmed preparations for such a project to Handelsblatt, saying that initial talks had taken place but that no formal tender had been issued.

Airwallex launches investment product to help businesses grow idle cash
Find out what's new on ST website and app. The new Airwallex Yield product is aimed at small business customers or customers on Airwallex. SINGAPORE - Fintech firm Airwallex has unveiled a new investment product aimed at helping businesses earn returns on unused funds, entering a competitive market where rivals also court companies seeking better yields on spare cash. Rolled out on July 28, the product invests in money market funds (MMFs) and offers returns of up to 1.29 per cent per annum for Singapore-dollar funds and up to 3.84 per cent for US-dollar funds. The new Airwallex Yield product is aimed at small business customers or customers on Airwallex, said Mr Arnold Chan, Airwallex's general manager for Asia-Pacific excluding China. 'Airwallex Yield will allow businesses to earn returns on their surplus Singapore-dollar and US-dollar funds by investing through investment-grade money market funds, while maintaining access to both liquidity and control over their cash,' he told The Straits Times. A MMF invests in a range of liquid, low-risk assets, which typically include cash and short-term instruments such as treasury bills, commercial paper, and certificates of deposit. Airwallex's yield product invests in several Goldman Sachs and Fullerton funds. The Singapore launch follows earlier rollouts in Australia and Hong Kong. Since its November 2023 debut in Australia, the product has attracted about US$200 million (S$256 million) in funds. Airwallex offers a suite of financial products for businesses, including global business accounts, cross-border payments and expense management tools. The firm said it is seeing a huge demand from customers in Singapore who want to earn returns while maintaining flexibility to move funds quickly. Over 80 per cent of its annual revenue comes from customers who use more than one Airwallex service and the firm expects to cross-sell the new product to its existing customers. The firm also plans to target technology companies, especially those backed by venture capital and holding substantial idle cash reserves, as well as e-commerce players and retailers that receive customer payments upfront but pay suppliers later. By investing these interim funds, they can generate additional returns. Trading businesses involved in importing and exporting can also benefit by putting their idle cash or working capital to work, said Mr Chan. He added that withdrawals are flexible and settlement is typically completed within one business day, provided that cut-off times were met. Airwallex joins a competitive field in Singapore, where firms like StashAway and Syfe already offer MMF products to businesses seeking returns on idle cash with flexible access. Most MMFs in Singapore invest in fixed deposits, government securities and commercial papers. Airwallex customer GlobalTix, a ticketing software and distribution platform for the tourism sector, said that it considers flexibility, liquidity, tenure and yield as key factors when deciding how to deploy idle cash. GlobalTix's co-founder and chief operating officer Chan Chee Kong said fixed deposits are less suitable for the company because they tie up funds for a set period – limiting access when quick payments to suppliers or vendors are needed. 'I need to have that flexibility around moving my funds in and out,' he said. Another key consideration is managing different currencies given the global nature of the firm's business, he added. He noted that Airwallex is not the first to offer the solution, adding that GlobalTix currently uses a similar offering from a competitor. However, if GlobalTix were to use Airwallex's new offering, it would benefit from having all its financial tools on a single platform – making it easier to monitor and manage its cash flow, he said. Lovet, a homegrown fashion brand and Airwallex customer, is considering the new yield product, its director Lee Wei Leong said. With interest rates declining, he said the company is exploring options. 'If we leave our money in a normal savings account, the value of the money is going to be eroded by inflation.' As an SME without venture capital backing, liquidity is key. If Lovet were to open a new outlet, it will need to be able to cash out quickly to fund the expansion, he added.

Star Wars creator George Lucas brings the force to Comic-Con in historic first visit
Find out what's new on ST website and app. US film-maker George Lucas arrives for the sneak peek of the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art panel at Comic-Con in San Diego, California, on July 27. SAN DIEGO – Comic-Con fans pulled out their lightsabers on July 27 to welcome Star Wars (1977 to present) creator George Lucas to the prominent pop culture convention for the very first time. Attendees lined up for hours to grab a seat inside the 6,500-person capacity venue, San Diego Convention Center, in San Diego, California, to see the legendary American director behind the Indiana Jones (1981 to 2023) franchise speak at the event on its final day. Comic-Con, which draws some 130,000 attendees, has become an important platform for movie studios and their stars to showcase the latest film and television offerings, especially those with a genre fan base. 'We've been waiting five decades for this,' said panel moderator and American actress-rapper Queen Latifah, who oversaw the discussion by Lucas and other film-makers. Instead of discussing his film works, however, he graced the convention to preview his latest project, the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art – opening in Los Angeles in 2026 – which he co-founded with his wife, businesswoman Mellody Hobson.

'I've been collecting art since I was in college,' Lucas, 81, told the crowd, adding that he has amassed tens of thousands of pieces in his collection. 'I've been doing this for 50 years now, and then it occurred to me that what am I going to do with it all because I refuse to sell it.' 'I could never do that, it's not what I think art is – I think it's more about an emotional connection,' he said. In his description of the museum, Lucas said the institution will feature a blend of works. They include illustrations by Normal Rockwell, Jessie Willcox Smith and N.C. Wyeth; artworks by Frida Kahlo, Jacob Lawrence, Charles White and Robert Colescott; and pieces by cartoonists and artists like Winsor McCay, Frank Frazetta and Jack Kirby. 'This is sort of a temple to the people's art,' he said in summation. The museum, housed in a sleek, curved building, will also feature items from Lucas's films and other exclusive pieces. For the Star Wars mastermind, the space aims to be a tribute to the importance of narrative art. 'When you're born, the baseline is fear. And as you go through life, you're curious about things, but you're especially curious about things you don't understand, and therefore that's a threat to you. 'And as a result, you make up stories to make it feel good,' he continued. 'Science fiction is a myth... but we've made it real because of science-fiction books and art.' Among the other members of the panel were Oscar-winning Mexican director Guillermo del Toro and American production designer Doug Chiang, who shaped the aesthetic of the Star Wars universe for decades. 'What's remarkable about George is that he leads from the heart, and this museum is him,' Chiang said. Del Toro, who will release his latest film Frankenstein in November, said many of the museum's pieces will celebrate freedom of speech.

He also described comics as a medium with 'a lot of social conscience' and joked that comic artists 'were the first one to punch a Nazi' in their works. 'What a panel,' gushed attendee Jesse Goldwater, who travelled to San Diego from Los Angeles. 'They are the embodiment of Comic-Con itself – without them, Comic-Con wouldn't exist.' AFP/REUTERS
